The Club Theatre is well named, if
we may take an incident that occurred
there last night. A poor devil, who

the privileges of Dublin critic. He
was hustled out by one of the peace"
officers of the place. But he shortly
returned and made his way inside,
where he again expressed his appro-
6ation of the performance in disturb
ing tones. In ordinary theatres he
would have been arrested and taken
TO the station house. But it appears
that this is not the rogue of the Cub
Theatre, for the man was set upon by
some one in authority, who quieted
him with club, breaking the poor
fellows head and the club at the same
time. The drunken man was carried
of, as it was said, by policeman, but
he never reached the station house.
